That protective layer of dirt and grease is there for a reason. All you
guys who want to polish stuff, need to stick to mag wheels and chrome and
paint.
If you insist upon spraying water on the engine, at least cover the
distributor and carb in plastic bags with tight fitting rubber bands around
them. Not too good an idea to spray plug wires either. You have found out
the result already. A spiffy looking, poorly running, engine.
